    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Oxygen Therapy

    Context:

    • Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease with complex aetiopathogenesis.
    • Current therapeutic strategies for MS are based on various theoretical models.
    • Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HOT) is an emerging treatment modality.

    Purpose:

    • To review the aetiopathogenesis of multiple sclerosis.
    • To explore the theoretical basis of current MS therapies.
    • To detail the therapeutic action and biological theory of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HOT) in MS.
    • To report the clinical outcomes of HOT in a large patient cohort.

    Summary:

    • The study reviews multiple sclerosis aetiopathogenesis and current treatment theories.
    • It details the therapeutic mechanisms and biological rationale for hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HOT).
    • Results from 1000 patients treated between 1977-1981 are presented, evaluating HOT's efficacy.

    Impact:

    • Provides a comprehensive review of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for multiple sclerosis.
    • Offers insights into the biological mechanisms of HOT in neurological conditions.
    • Contributes data on the long-term outcomes of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in MS patients.
